Paramedic Discrimination Lawsuit

A federal jury determined a former paramedic, Kristine Rednour, for Wayne Township Fire Department had been discriminated against by her employer because of her diabetes. The paramedic was allegedly terminated because of her diabetes and was awarded lost wages and damages by the jury. Federal law requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the former paramedic would be considered disabled. Despite her qualifications and having had diabetes since age 12, Rednour was allegedly told she should not have been hired by the department.
